PAPER-HANG ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 479,971, dated August2, 1892.

Application led April 7, 1892. Serial No. 428,150. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, GEORGE CARR, a citizen of the United States,residing at Carrville, in the county of Floyd and lState of Iowa, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-Hangers, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inpaper-hangers, as will be more fully hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention consists in the provision of a roller to carry paperthereon and which is fastened to the corner board of a frame house, sothat said paper may be applied over the sheathing before the applicationof the weather-boarding or siding to produce warmt-h.

The object of this invention is to facilitate the application of suchpaper to frame houses by a device which is simple and effective in itsconstruction and operation, easily handled and readily understood, andcheap of manufacture.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device shownapplied in position. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the device detached andon a larger scale. Fig. 3 is a detailview in perspective of the rollerdetached. Fig. 4 is a similar view of the support for the roller,showing the roller as disconnected therefrom.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in theseveral iigures of the drawings; A

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the frame orsupport, which is constructed of suitable size and material, and isprovided at oneend withclampsand at theopposite end with a thumb-screw2X, whereby the same may be properly secured in position on thecorner-board of a house, as shown in Fig. 1. The thumb-screw 2X extendsthrough the frame or support and is adapted to engage one side of thecorner board. Extending outward from the frame or support 1 are twostandards 3 and 4, the standard 3 being formed with a slot 5, openingoutward therefrom, and the standard 4 with an aperture G, to therebyreceive the journals of the roller. The inner face of the standard 4 isbeveled or inclined, as at 7, for a purpose which will be more fullyhereinafter set forth. Projecting upward from the frame or support 1,close to the standard 3, is a spring-catch 8, having a shoulder 9,adapted to take over the projecting end of one of the journals of theroller to hold the same in position in the standard.

The roller 10 consists of a shaft or spindle 11, provided with journals12 at the ends thereof, which are adapted to fit in the standards 3 and4, hereinbefore referred to, and on one end of said shaft or spindle issecured a head 13, having an outer beveled face 14. This outer face 14of the said head is conical in shape, being beveled from the centertoward the periphery, and bears upon the inclined face 7 of the standard4. By this means the roller is held in proper position between thestandards 3 and 4 and prevented from having a longitudinal movement, thesaid beveled construction also producing a certain amount of friction,which, together with the springcatch engaging the opposite end orjournal of the roller, prevents the paper from running off the roll tooeasily.

The roll of paper is placed upon the roller and the said roller thensecured in position in the standards 3 and 4. The frame or supportcarrying the roller is then clamped in position on the corner board of ahouse, when the paper can be readily placed in position over thesheathing, as will be readily understood.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is In apapering device of the character set forth, the combination of a frameor support having clamps at one end and a thumb-screw at the other,standards extending from said frame or support, one of which is providedwith a slot and the other with an aperture, a roller removably engagingsaid standards, and a spring-catch extending outward adjacent to one ofsaid standards and engaging one end of the roller, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE CARR.
